President Monson’s most quoted scripture and a great tool!



One of my professors at BYU created this very useful website.   


It indexes scriptures from LDS General Conference talks (plus some other Church publications) from 1942-present.  You can look use it 2 ways:
1.       Look up by scripture.  You can look up a scripture and see who has used that particular scripture in General Conference talk.
2.       Look up by speaker. You can look up a speaker and see what scriptures they’ve quoted in their talks.

From this, I gather that President Monson’s most quoted scripture in General Conference is:
D&C 107:99 “let every man learn his duty.” Quoted 16 times

However, if you count this next scripture when it’s either a standalone verse or used with other verses then President Monson has also used it 16 times”

D&C 18:10 “the worth of souls is great in the sight of God”

I did pretty thorough search but you may find something I missed that was higher.  Take a look and use it to look up your favorite scriptures and speakers.
